Consumer platform Glance announced Wednesday that it is bringing its personal shopping assistant directly to iPhone and iPad users through Apple’s new Siri AI. The update arrives alongside Apple’s iOS 27 release and allows consumers to search for products, view suggestions, and buy items without hopping between separate applications. Backed by mobile advertising company InMobi, Google, and Jio Platforms, Glance uses systemwide app actions inside Siri AI so users can run shopping requests through regular voice commands or physical phone inputs.
Key Takeaways
- Glance now connects directly with Siri AI on Apple iPhone and iPad models running iOS 27.
- Shoppers can ask Siri natural queries for outfits and products using voice, the side button, or a swipe from the Dynamic Island.
- An on-device virtual try-on tool uses Apple’s Core AI framework to render sample images locally, even without an internet connection.
- The app adopts Apple’s Liquid Glass interface design to keep the visual style consistent across different screens.
- Glance reports its shopping software already runs on 60 million active devices globally, mostly in the United States.
How the Siri AI Integration Works on Apple Hardware
Users do not need to open the standalone Glance software to start finding products. Instead, they can prompt Siri AI directly. For example, a person can say, “Siri, show me some red shoes for a marathon” or ask for wardrobe options for an upcoming holiday. Beyond standard voice queries, iPhone owners can trigger the service by holding the physical side button or swiping down directly from the Dynamic Island at the top of the display.
Once prompted, Glance analyzes individual user tastes and past purchases to suggest specific products within the Siri AI interface. The platform also explains why a specific item matches what the buyer requested. InMobi and Glance founder Naveen Tewari said online retail is heading toward automated shopping agents that understand intent and let people purchase products instantly.
On-Device Virtual Try-On and Liquid Glass Interface
A primary technical addition to the update is an offline virtual try-on feature. Running on Apple’s Core AI framework, the tool creates product previews directly on the local device hardware instead of uploading photos to external cloud servers. This keeps image processing private, quick, and operational when users travel without data coverage. Glance plans to roll out this try-on system to all compatible iPhones and iPads before the end of the year.
The visual presentation uses Apple’s Liquid Glass layout, allowing the app interface to adjust cleanly between smaller phone displays and larger tablet screens. Glance is run by Glance InMobi Pte. Ltd. and already distributes its software across smart TVs and third-party mobile hardware. The new integration gives Apple users an easy path to discover items while keeping the actual checkout process linked to the Glance ecosystem.
